TUTORIAL 4

1. Determine the mass of the air in a room whose dimensions are 4 m X 5 m X 6 m at 100 kPa
and 25C.

2. Determine the specific volume of refrigerant-134a at 1 MPa and 50C, using


(a) the ideal-gas equation of state and
(b) the generalized compressibility chart.
Compare the values obtained to the actual value of 0.021796 m3/kg and determine the error
involved in each case.

3. A 3.27 m3 tank contains 100 kg of nitrogen at 175 K. Determine the pressure in the tank, using:
(a) the ideal gas equation.
(b) the van der Waals equation.
(c) the Beattie-Bridgeman equation.

4. 11. A 1m3 tank contains 2.841 kg of steam at 0.6 MPa. Determine the temperature of the steam,
using:
(a) the ideal gas equation.
(b) the van der Waals equation.
(c) the steam tables.

5. The pressure in an automobile tire depends on the temperature of the air in the tire. When the
air temperature is 25C, the pressure gage reads 210 kPa. If the volume of the tire is 0.025 m3,
determine the pressure rise in the tire when the air temperature in the tire rises to 50C. Also,
determine the amount of air that must be bled off to restore pressure to its original value at this
temperature. Assume the atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa.

6. Carbon dioxide gas enters a pipe at 3 MPa and 500 K at a rate of 2 kg/s. CO2 is cooled at
constant pressure as it flows in the pipe and the temperature CO2 drops to 450 K at the exit.
Determine the volume flow rate and the density of carbon dioxide at the inlet and the volume
flow rate at the exit of the pipe using
(a) the ideal-gas equation and
(b) the generalized compressibility chart.
(c) determine the error involved in each case.

7. A closed, rigid tank filled with water vapor, initially at 20 MPa, 520oC, is cooled until its
temperature reaches 400oC. Using the compressibility chart, determine
(a) the specific volume of the water vapor in m3/kg at the initial state.
(b) the pressure in MPa at the final state.
(c) Compare the results of parts (a) and (b) with the values obtained from the superheated
vapor table
